Little known fact – General Tsao (of chicken fame) had a little brother, General Tsee. Tsee definitely had a complex because his big brother’s chicken recipe was so famous. One day, Tsee was walking in a carrot patch, eating an orange, when he tripped and fell. Covered in orange juice and carrot, he licked his lips and said “THIS IS IT!! THIS SHALL BE MY LEGACY!!” He ran home and added some ginger and curry, as Tsee loved a little kick in his soup! He then pureed it all together to blend the flavors perfectly. Oh, Tsee was so happy!! Unfortunately, big brother Tsao got wind of what was going on and challenged Tsee to a duel! “Whoever wins this duel shall be remembered for his recipe for generations to come!!” Tsee’s strong point was miniature golf, not sword fighting – hence General Tsao’s Chicken at Chinese restaurants across the world. But don’t worry Tsee! I remember you!! Wherever you are, know this – I’ll always serve your soup, General Tsee! Your legacy is safe with Soupergirl!

I had company over and served this soup as a starter. The result was good and bad – everyone raved about the soup but it made the rest of the meal, which I prepared, seem pretty ordinary! I only wish I’d had more and served only soup!
It definitely had an Asian kick…I liked the texture and it did clear up my sinus infection :) I would still order this soup again no matter what ;)
The ginger in this soup really makes it. I love the way it works with the orange. Delicious!
Really really good – I could eat this every week!
So basic, but so flavorful! I love the asian twist on many of the soups. So many good, but healthy flavors!
I didn’t expect to like this as much as I did. I tend to prefer the chunky more over the pureed, but this surprised me. The texture was great too.
